Fatuous In The Extreme

I don't know which was worse--the ultra fast talking, never take a breath narration or the breezy, idiotic, brandname & fancy place name dropping writ..Show More »ing. I can't call it storytelling--more like bragging about a perfect NYC / New England life "telling". This trust-fund proud, assuming, and shallow main character made for an unbelievable wife and daughter of two pastors. I listened to the first chapter gape mouthed.

Thank goodness for the Audible terrible book return policy. I can't get this birdbrained drivel out of my library fast enough. A total waste of time. What I really wonder about is who edits and publishes these things? Mind boggling.

Another Good Cozy on the Series

I've read this series for years, and go back to it whenever I feel a need for what I know will be another enjoyable read. This one is set on an island..Show More » off the coast of Maine, as have a couple others.

Faith's part is small in this story. Tom is gone for the summer so he's not hardly involved at all. Their son, Ben, has morphed into a young teen and has a larger role than either of his parents.

Plot isn't outstanding but still very entertaining. A bit like getting a letter from old friends and catching up with their family and happenings.Happy to know they are doing well!
